SXT CHIEF OBSERVER REPORT AND TABLE PLAN 13 March 1995 M. Weber SXT TABLE PLAN FOR WEEK 11 (12 Mar - 18 Mar 1995 JST) There are no coordinated campaigns this week. The observing objectives of this plan are: - Standard observing table for most of the week. - Dark Calibration on Tuesday. - Commencement of terminator-offpointing campaign. The SXT Table Plan for the week is as follows: KSC Time (start) in JST Pass Table ID Comments _____________(= UT + 9 hrs)______#_______________________________ Monday (03/13) 22:53 2 950313 P2 ARS1 DARKCAL Tuesday (03/14) 21:30 2 950314 P2 ARS1 STD+LONG Wednesday *************** NO SXT TABLE UPLOAD ****************** Thursday *************** NO SXT TABLE UPLOAD ****************** Friday *************** NO SXT TABLE UPLOAD ****************** Saturday *************** NO SXT TABLE UPLOAD ****************** Terminator-Offpointing: The terminator-offpointing endeavor will begin this week. The current plan is to leave the SXT Table unchanged after Tuesday's passes, but offpointing OGs might be changed a few times. The offpoint OG information that the SSOC tohbans need to prepare the Command Pass Sheets will be provided by the SXT Chief Observer via fax, as usual. Feb. 24, 1995 is the last time this was done, if an example is desired. This table plan is subject to change. -------------------------------------------- SXT CHIEF OBSERVER'S REPORT for w10-- 6-Mar-95 to 13-Mar-95 SXT INSTRUMENT STATUS The SXT instrument continues to perform well. The KSC tohbans reported that there was a Table mismatch error when the Table (950307 P2 ARS1 DARKCAL) was loaded at Pass-2. The mismatch error did not occur at Pass-5. The SXT Chief Observer was appraised of investigations into the matter, and was later informed that there should be no problem with the next day's Table Upload. The SXT Chief Observer is grateful for the prompt manner in which the situation was handled. SXT CHIEF OBSERVER SUPPORT The novice SXT Chief Observer was happy to note the arrival of Keith Strong-san, whose CO experience is comforting to have available. Furthermore, Hugh Hudson-san should be back this week. One wonders, is it possible to have TOO MANY Chief Observers?
